Warm up inside the Community Center with hot cocoa and cookies provided by the WB MUD Parks & Rec. Dept. WBNA sponsored craft tables will be set up both nights and children will have the opportunity to create ornaments and keepsakes. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with crafts and MUD staff will keep the refreshments flowing.
Join us outdoors for a caroling hayride or a trip around the trails on the Holiday Express Train to see the luminaries up close. Jessica Shepherd will host the kids’ karaoke inside the Community Center on Saturday night with continued crafts and refreshments for all to enjoy.
Help to light the luminary candles on Friday and Saturday at 3:30pm. The MUD will have lighters on hand but feel free to bring your own long lighter and meet in the courtyard at the Community Center. Wagons are encouraged Saturday to help carry the replacement candles along the trail.
We hope to see you there!
